Twice already I walked through Brussels Rue Américaine, completely distracted by all the wonderful Art Nouveau buildings (like that of the Museum Horta!). But as they say: three time’s a charm, ‘cause when I walked through this street again, a colourful store window caught my eye. Felicity looked like such a colourful paradise. I just had to go in.

Inside was the lovely owner Marie busy creating one of the wonderful pieces of clothing and accessories that fill the racks of the store. Every piece is hand made, colourful, comfortable and most of all: feminine. And no wonder she’s inspired: she’s surrounded by stashes and stashes of designer fabrics, tape and ribbon. Luz is her partner in crime: she makes one of a kind, colourful hats.

The ladies of Felicity look beyond their own designs and also sell (colourful!) products of young and hip designers. You can find bijoux by Parijs by G, loads of happy stuff from Pip Studio and the cool and bold bracelets and belts by Noosa Amsterdam. Is DIY more your thing? No problem: just buy some fabric by Amy Butler or Michael Miller and some pretty biais tape and off you go!

Just one warning: it’s almost impossible to leave Felicity without buying something. (And I'm one to know… I left with 2 meters of Amy Butler fabric and 2 Pip Studio postcards)

So awesome. I'd love to visit a place like this. The closest type of scene I've experienced is Toronto, lol. They have *lots* of bead shops there that I made a point to visit. Lots of fabric shops too. Now I want to go to Brussels!!

Wow! So she sits and sews or creates in the shop! Wouldn't that be the ideal job??! To be so inspired by everything around you, even the customers coming in your door?Great post! Thank you for linking @ this Week.
